Canon SPEEDLITE INSTRUCTION MANUAL MODE D'EMPLOI MANUAL DE INSTRUCCIONES SPEEDLITE Thank you for purchasing a Canon product. The Canon Speedlite 580EX II is an EOS-dedicated, high-output flash unit automatically compatible with E - T L II, E-TTL, and TTL autoflash. It can serve as an on-camera flash as well as a master unit or a slave unit in a wireless, multiple-Speedlite system. It has the same dust- and water-resistance as EOS-1D series cameras. 1 I Read this instruction manual while also referring to your camera's instruction manual. Before using the Speedlite, read this instruction manual and your camera's instruction manual to familiarize yourself with the Speedlite operations. The basic operation is as easy as with normal AE shooting. When the 580EX II is attached to an EOS camera, almost all automatic exposure control for flash photography is handled by the camera. It is almost the same as using the camera's built-in flash if it has one. You can think of the 580EX II as a built-in, high-output flash, but attached externally. It becomes automatically compatible with the camera's flash metering mode (E-TTL II, E-lTL, and TTL). f 1 In accordance with the camera's flash control system, the Speedlite controls the flash automatically in the respective flash metering mode: 1. E-TTL II autoflash (evaluativeflash metering with preflash readingllens distance information) 2. E-TTL autoflash (evaluativeflash metering with preflash reading) 3. TTL autoflash (off-the-film metering for real-time flash metering) Regarding the camera's available flash metering modes, refer to the "External Speedlite" specification in the "Specifications" of your camera's instruction manual. The camera instruction manual's chapter on flash photography will refer to cameras having flash metering modes 1 or 2 as a Type-A camera (compatible with E-TTL II or E-TTL). And cameras having flash metering mode 3 (compatible with only TTL) are called Type-B cameras. * This instruction manual assumes that you are using the Speedlite with a TypeA camera. For Type-B cameras, see page 55. 1 Getting Started and Baslc Operation ................................ 7 2 Using Flash ....................................................................... 13 3 Wireless Flash ...................................................................33 4 Reference ...........................................................................47 gonventions Used in this Manual The <@> symbol in the text refers to the Select Dial. The <@> - symbol in the text refers to the SelectISet button. The symbol in the text refers to a Custom Function. The operatiomprocedures in this instruction manual assume that both the camera and Speedlite's power switches are ON. Icons used in the text to indicate the respective buttons, dials, and settings match the same icons found on the camera and Speedlite. The (64) 1(66)1(616) icons indicate that the respective function remains in effect for 4 sec., 6 sec., or 16 sec. after you let go of the button. Reference page numbers are indicated by (p.**). This instruction manual uses the following alert symbols: () : The Caution symbol indicates a warning to prevent shooting problems. @ : The Note symbol gives supplemental information. rCatchlight panel (retracted) (p.19) Wireless sensor External power source socket Mounting foot (p.9) hole Case Mini stand synchronization button Battery compartment Battery compartment Wireless set button (p.20136.39,40,41, 42.45) Power switch (p.10) : Power off : Power on Lock-release button Dust- and water-resistant adapter <@> SelectlSet button ' . 4 2 High-speedsync Stroboscopic flash frequency Manual flash 113-stop increment indicator Custom Function No. Custom Function setting Zoom focal length ~lrlng mode MssterfkwhON: M&w Rash OFF : 8leveRash: 4% %!

After 20 continuous flashes, allow a rest time of at least 10 min. If you fire more than 20 continuous flashes and then fire more flashes in short intervals, the inner overheating prevention function may be activated to make the recycling time about 8 to 20 sec. If this occurs, allow a rest time of about 15 min. and the flash will then return to normal. - h g j the Batteries ur sbe-AA batteries. - Open the cover. a Use your thumb to press the battery compartment lock lever, then slide it as shown by the arrow 0 to open the cover. Install the batteries. 1 Make sure the + and -battery contacts are properly oriented as shown in the compartment. Close the cover. 1 k a Close the battery compartment cover and slide it as shown by the arrow. b When the cover cllcks in place, it will be locked. Recydlng Time and Flash Count (vlth size-AA alkallne battehs) 1 Based on new size-AA alkaline batteries and Canon's testing standards. s Quick flash enables a flash to be fired before flash-ready (p.10). 1 Attach the Speedlite. Slip the Speedlite's mounting foot into the camera's hot shoe all the way. 2 Secure the Speedlite. On the mounting foot, slide the lock lever to the right. b When the lock lever clicks in place, it will be locked. Detach the Speedlite. While pressing the lock-release button, slide the lock lever to the left and detach the Speedlite. r hrning on the Power Switch - 1 Set the power switch to . b The flash recycling starts. I 2 Check that the flash is ready. The pilot lamp will first turn green (ready for quick flash), then red (flash ready). Pressing the pilot lamp will fire a test flash. I I Quick flash enables a flash to be fired before flash-ready, when the pilot lamp is still green. Although the Guide No. will be 116 to 112 that of the full output, quick flash is effective for near subjects and when you want a shorter recycle time. Set the drive mode to single shooting. Quick flash cannot be used in the continuous shooting, FEB, manual flash, and stroboscopic flash modes. Quick Rash can also be used during continuous Rash shooting (C.Ffl-06 -t p.27) 'Rwer OPf To save battery power, the power will tum off automatically after a certain period (approx. 1.5 min. to 15 min.) of idle use. To turn on the Speedlite again, press the camera's shutter button halfway. Or press the Speedlite's test firing button. Auto Power Off can also be disabled.
